J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez TikTok (San Francisco, CA) en janv. 2022
Entretien
I've interviewed with TikTok in January 2022.
Recruiter reached out and I was able to quickly set up a coding interview.
The interviewer asked about my experience and had a lot of follow up questions, then we moved to a medium difficulty question. I solved it brute force rather quickly and started talking about optimization and coding more. The interviewer stopped me and literally said "that's not important, let's talk about your experience some more".
Towards the end when was my turn to ask questions, I asked the interviewer about TikTok's growth. That triggered a 15 minute rant about scaling problems and poor tooling. Yikes.
Got a reject 2 days later. Chaos.
